Charook Breit – Leather Shoes with a Wide Fit, Navy

The Breit is our model for broad feet: the same hand-stitched build as the Classic, but worked on a markedly wider last.

If slip-ons usually pinch at the ball of your foot, or you size up because of a high instep, this is the shape you want. The navy leather is grained and untreated and the opening is cut deep, so the shoe holds without a fastening. The whole thing stays light enough to wear like a house shoe while still being fit for outdoors.

Material

The shoe is 100 % leather: a buffalo-leather outsole, a lamb-leather lining and a goat-leather outer shell. The leather is untreated and natural. Goat leather lets the feet breathe, so no bad odours build up and the foot stays cool — which is why these shoes stay comfortable over long days.

Fit and size

The Breit is deliberately cut wider than our Classic line. With a normal foot width we therefore recommend going one size down; with a wide foot or high instep, stick to your usual size. Natural leather stretches further over the first few days.

Care

The leather is untreated and natural. Wipe off dust with a dry, soft cloth and work in a colourless leather conditioner from time to time. Never machine wash and never dry on a radiator — let the shoes air at room temperature.
